My dad always grew mint out back and made mint tea for upset tummies.
The other thing I remember is, as other posters have mentioned, ginger
ale - except that it should be *flat* ginger ale, not fizzy. You can
achieve this by adding a little sugar to your GA in the glass - takes
the fizz right out. (A nurse taught me this one when I was a kid in
the hospital)
